A Back to School Look That’s Effortlessly Cool

Did someone say school uniform? This look is a total vibe that’s giving preppy school girl meets grunge girl. It’s effortless and cool and screams that there’s a rebel inside fighting to come out. If you want to absolutely SERVE going back to school, well then I’d say, this one’s a definite contestant!

I’ve really been into experimenting with layering lately (as if you couldn’t tell), so when I looked at the top I knew it needed a little something extra. That’s when I spied this cute little black tank crop top. Adding it tied the whole outfit together, especially with the black loafers.

In this outfit we’re not just playing with layers, but also with shades of green and teal. The light green top and socks are a nice contrast to the teal pleated skirt and the black accents. I even put dark green clips in my hair to further add another element of the green!

This is such a good example of having fun playing with what you have in your closet. I hope this inspires you to truly have fun with your clothes, and to come up with looks that are not just fun, but 100% you. That’s what it’s all about!
